I. J. WHITE CLEARED MONDAY
IN FEDERAL JOB SALE TRIAL
Negro Republican leader Isaac J. White of Black
shear, was cleared Monday of federal charges of solicita
tion to attain an appointive public office.
The jury deliberated a little
more than an hour before return
ing an innocent verdict in the
one day U. S. District Court trial
before Judge Frank M. Scarlett.
Pierce County GOP Chairman
White was one of three party of
ficials and three others indicted
in Savannah last May on the job
selling charges.
Jury Foreman H. S. Ryall told
the court that the verdict result
ed when the jury could not a
gree on a definition of the word
“solicitation” in the charges.
White was accused of soliciting
S2OO from Wilson Truett Tuten of
Bristol, Ga., a white postmaster.
Tuten, one of the others indicted
in the case, is charged with offer
ing SSOO to White in connection
with a rural postal carrier’s job.
Earlier Monday Tom C. Will
iams, a Negro and Eighth District
Republican chairman in the state,
obtained a continuance of his
trial on the job selling charges.
An attorney offered an affidavit
signed by a physician which said
that because of his health, Will
iams’ life would be endangered
by a court trial at this time.
The other four persons charg
ed in the case are scheduled for
trial later this week. They are
Eighth District Vice Chairman
James M. Kent of St. Simons Is
land; Henry Grady Smith, Jesup,
and Chestnut A Thompson of Jes
up. All are white men.
U. S. Attorney W. C. Calhoun

ment of Williams’ trial but Judge
Scarlett said “A human life is
more important than a legal case.”

Williams was charged in seven
counts of the indictment with re
ceiving $2,500 and soliciting SSOO
more for his influence in obtain

The other two party officials
were charged with paying or of
soliciting funds. The three others

"*No date was set for Williams’
trial. A short recess court' term
may be held here in November
and he coudd be tried then, his
health permitting. The next reg
ular term of court is in the spring.
The affidavit offered in behalf
of Williams said he is suffering
from diabetes and underwent ma
jor operations in February and
March. It described his condition
as poor and unsatisfactory.
Georgia to Break
Another Record in
’53 Pine Planting
Although Georgia was the
leading state in the nation last
year in pine tree planting, 1953
prospects indicate that the 19-
52 record will be left far be
hind.
Records show that some 53,-
000,000 trees wre planted in this
state last year while approxi
mately 100,000,000 trees are to be
made available by the Georgia
Forestry Commission for this sea
son’s plantings.
“If all of the trees available
are planted this season,” C. Dor
sey Dyer, University of Georgia
Extension Forester said, “this
will probably be the highest num
ber of trees set in one season
by one state in the history of this
country.”
Dyer continued that of the
100,000,900 trees available 65,000,-
000 are slash pine, 25,000,000 lob
lolly pine, and there are smaller
quantities of short leaf, long leaf
and white pine and some black
locust, red cedar, yellow poplar
and Arizona cypress.
Already orders have been re
ceived for three-fourths of the
slash pine seedlings available and
for approximately 40 percent of
the loblolly pine seedlings. Orders
may be placed through local
county agents, forest rangers, and
soil conservation technicians.
“This is the first year in a
long time that enough seedlings
have been available to supply the
demand,” Dyer stated, “and ag
ricultural workers all over the
state are ready to assist farmers
in getting them for planting. The
number of seedlings needed to
set an acre will cost only $3 or
less, according to the spacing us
ed. Approximately 700 to 1,000
trees per acre should be set.”
In North Georgia, according to
Dyer, trees may be set 6 by 7
feet apart or approximately 1,000
trees per acre, and in other sec
tions of the state 8 by 8 feet or
6 by 10 feet plantings are recom
mended. Both of these spacings
require about 700 trees per acre.
